This is a product I'm really excited to share with you all! I discovered Athlinks a few years back in their early stages and immediately fell in love. Basically, it's a super smart site that compiles races results auto-magically and finds YOUR results and presents them to you in a super clean and fun way. It revolutionizes race results in a way that ensures your results are never buried deep in some site you'll never find again. Let's take a look:

This is my profile. It shows my PR's on top and some general stats at the top. Below is the races I have indicated I am registered for and the goal times I have set for myself.To add my race results, I was prompted to "claim" them as my own after a race. Basically, the site's engines constantly are searching the internet for races and then index the results. The site is smart enough to find my name and then it asks me if it was really me. I have a not-so-common last name, but I can see how this could be more frustrating if your name was Mike Smith, or something.Below is what my results page looks like. So far, Athlinks has found results from 29 races I have run. It was fun to see that it found races from back in high school! At-a-glance, it lists my time and how I placed in my age group, my gender, and overall-- always fun stats to look at.

Overall, I really love this product. For years I have used an Excel spreadsheet to track similar data but often times would get behind and have to spend time looking up my results and recording them. That would take a LOT of time. (Plus, my memory is that of a goldfish!) I encourage all runners to register for this FREE site and enjoy it in all its glory! :)
